    Extremely high RAM usage


    How does Windows take 5GB out 8GB of RAM on idle? I've disabled runtime broker and many other ram intensive programs and it's still that high. I don't have any game launcher or anything. ‍♂️I'm honestly so confused. ‍♂️

    RAM usage extremely high and source undetectable

    First of all, thank you for your response.

    Second, the solutions you've given me, all relate to either the source of the issue being visible in task manager or they are solutions to bad RAM. Only the first one actually relates to the source of the high RAM usage not being visible in task manager,
    but for me, the source is not even visible in poolmon.

    Also, I find it very peculiar that it says my user account is only using 1 GB of RAM the last time I checked and the system was using 4 GB of RAM.

    So, I would be very if you would further help me locate the source of my high RAM usage.

    I gave you steps to check the baseline integrity of your install, account and RAM. This checklist will often find and fix problems with resource usage. So please complete all steps and report back results.

    Please do not skip any steps. We often find out later that the fix was the skipped step. If you need help performing any step I will help.
